MEA
Those interested in the advance
ment of education in A-izona and
elsewhere are showing? real concern
in the Towner bill to create a depart
ment of education, which has been
introduced in the house of repre
sentatives. The bill calls for an ap
propriation to conduct the depart
ment and to encouragethe states in
tho promotion and support of educa
tion. A copy of the bill has been placed
in the hands of The Republican and
especial attention has been called to
provisions for annual appropriations
to further education. That Arizona
will receive a portion of this special
fund and benefit otherwise "if the bill
is passed is the opinion of state of
ficials. The act would give much aid
to rural schools of the state.
The bill specifies that the depart
ment of education shall conduct spe
cial investigations in the field of
education including research workMn
illiteracy, immigrant education, pub
lic school education, including health,
recreation and sanitation, preparation
and supply of competent teachers

tion. To carry out this work and provide

lowing appropriations are asked:

to the department of education
for the purpose of paying salaries
and conducting studies and investi
gations, and paying all incidental and
traveling expenses and rent where
necessary, and for the purpose of
enabling the department of education
to carry out the provisions of this
act."
Section 7 "Tn order to encourage
tho state to remove illiteracy J7.500,
000, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, is authorized to be appro
priated annually for the instruction
of illiterates 14 years of age and over.
Said sum shall be apportioned to the
states which qualify under the pro
visions of this act, in the proportions
which their respective illiterate pop
ulations 14 years of age and over,
not including foreign born illiterates,
bear to such total illiterate popula
tion of the United States, not includ

thtj last preceding census of the
United States. All funds apportioned
to a state for the removal of illiteracy

BOOSTER SPECIAL
URGED BY REALTOR
The following endorsement of the
plan to advertise the Salt River val
ley by means of a "Booster Special"
has been received by the chamber of
commerce from C. A. Dagley, of the
C. A. Dagley real estate firm:
"Kindly allow me to state aa a
member of the Phoenix chamber of
commerce I am heartily in favor of
the Booster Special Train, properly
equipped and conducted. I firmly be
lieve that such a method of intelli
gently and enthusiastically advertis
ing the tremendously great and al
mostx unknown resources and possi
bilities of Arizona Is entirely feas
ible and practical.
"The Phoenix chamber of com
merce and all progressive and loyal
citizens of this exceedingly rich and
favored valley can truthfully say in
the language of 'the poet, 'the half has
never yet been told' about the perma
nent advantages now offered in this
city, county and state.
"It would seem to me that with the
right kind of a program and per
sonnel Tor the 'Booster special tram
self interest and public spirit would
cause the citizens of this valley to
contribute readily and voluntarily, in
proportion to their interest here, to
the necessary financing of such a
means of letting the people of this
nation know, at least in part, of the
unexcelled advantages and oppor
tunities that are now affered here in
climate,' soil and the abundance of
water with the assurance of certain
and unusually large crop yields, to
say nothing about the mighty and
almost unlimited possibilities of the
mining business in Arizona, free from
the devastating floods and the almost
unendurable winters of the east.
"Is it not a fact that our sister
state, California, has been extensively
advertised for more than 40 years
from ocean to ocean, while Arizona,
with tremendously great and lasting
advantages, as yet is little known in
any part of America?"
K. P. BARBECUE TO
BE HELD TONIGHT
Tonight is the night of the big
joint barbecue and picnic which will
be given by the valley lodges of the
order of Knights of Pythias. Every
thing is in readiness, and the picnic

spoons.
The committee in charge of trans
portation requests that the following

first road east on the left, -which will
have a sign "this way to the picnic
grounds," and follow the white flags.
The committee also wishes anyone
who has no way to go to be at the
K. of P. hall at 6 o'clock. There
will be machines there to take you.
There will be speaking by Dr. A. J.
Mathews of Tempe Normal, and Rev.
R. E. Elmore, of the Christian church

HEPDHT ARIZONA
FINE FIELD FOR
INVESTMENTS
Bond House Men Say
Slump In Cotton Has
Been Blessing In Dis
guise Future Assured
Arizona offers one of the best
fields in the country for investments
in the opinion of the California com
pany and Blythe, Witter and com
pany, which sent a large party o
oond men to the valley a week ago.
according to the Los Angeles Times.
The newspaper also declares the re
cent depression in the cotton indus
try has been a godsend in that it has
restored dairy herds, diversified
farming and efficient cultivation and
eliminated inflated values.
The following account of conditions
here was published in the Times on
the return of the bond house party
to Los Angeles following its inspec
tion of the city and valley:
The recent trip made by the rep
resentatives of the California Com
pany and BIyth, Witter & company
into Arizona is the result of several
years of study by representatives of
these institutions into the opportu
nities presented by Arizona enter
prises for safe investment by Cali
fornia investors.
Both the California company and
BIyth, Witter & company have de
cided that Arizona offers at this time
one of the best fields in the United
States to loan money. Their indus
tries are basically sound, the products
being cotton and other agricultural
products, copper and other mineral
products, lumber and cattle. During
the period of great prosperity which
followed the introduction of long
staple cotton into Arizona there was
a period of Inflation. During this
time conservative investment houses
were afraid to make loans in the val
ley because they could not determine
the real value of the property under
adverse circumstances.
The recent depression in the cot
ton industry has been a godsend to
Arizona, painful though the lesson
has been. They have learned that it
does not pay to "put all of their eggs
in one basket," and as a result the
ranchers are now diversifying their
crops. They have lebrned that ranch
ers cannot run their ranches through
overseers while they eit comfortably
in their homes or in the Phoenix ho
tels and clubs.
The men who watched their own
property and who knew farming con
ditions are making money in the Salt
River valley today. The land has
had the speculative value taken out
of it, and is now on a productive
basis. There is no land in the West
which will produce more, and no land
offers a better opportunity to real
farmers than the land m the Salt
River valley. Their water problem
Is a simple one, there being more
than enough water to take care of
all needs, and this water has been
developed at a very reasonable cost.
It is Interesting to note that 9H4
per cent of the land served by the
Salt River Valley Water Users' as
sociation is under cultivation this
year, aa compared with 84 per cent
last year. The cost of producing
cotton will undoubtedly be less than
half of last year's cost. Great herds
of cattle are againg coming into the
valley, and the dairying Industry is
coming back into its own. Various
fruits, both citrus and deciduous, are
being grown successfully. Berries
of all kinds show excellent results.
Another drawback which this coun
try has had to contend with is bad
roads. This is being rapidly over
come, particularly in the Salt River
valley, where $8,500,000 is being
spent at the present time, and once
these roads are completed, tlrfs dis
trict will become one of the greatest
tourist centers in the United States
during the winter season.
This territory should bo tribuary
to Los Angeles and Southern Califor
nia. The people naturally come here
during the hot summer months, and
they are free spenders. Their mer
chants buy from us when conditions
are anywhere near equal.
The security they have to offer to
investors is exceptional, and they are
prepared to offer a good rate of in
terest for the money. We firmly be
lieve that the people who buy high-
grade Arizona securities today are
going to be more that satisfied with
their investment- For this reason
we have decided to place our own
money in those enterprises which can
Justify us as to their ability to earn
their interest charges when due and
"to pay the principal at maturity.
